It becomes evident from the first note that one hears that Hilde Güden possessed a truly beautiful
vocal timbre. Her singing of the various arias from Don Giovanni, Die Zauberflöte, Le Nozze di Figaro,
Idomeneo, Il Re Pastore and the Exsultate, jubilate mirror perfectly the style of Mozart-singing
pertaining to her generation. The tone is always unforced, due consideration is given to dynamics
so that score markings are scrupulously adhered to and are achieved with a floating quality that is
never too thin or threadbare, but full of colour. The selections from Italian opera demonstrate why
she was so successful in the major opera houses.
